Former EU Envoy: Israel's Forced Transfer of Palestinians in Gaza Would Be a War Crime



Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, recently retired European Union ambassador to Palestine, says Israeli pain and anger cannot justify war crimes in Gaza, where Israeli bombardment has already killed over 1,500 people. Now with Israel demanding the relocation of 1.1 million people ahead of an expected ground invasion, von Burgsdorff says Israel must adhere to international law and protect civilians. “No matter what Hamas did, it does not justify the incredible use of lethal force without distinction and without proportionality as far as the Palestinian population is concerned in Gaza,” he says.

Kill another 600 babies and children while they starve in the dark, it’s all legal and moral…

Human shields? 600 children dead and counting …parents lend lease their most precious possessions to be used by terrorists…hilariously stupid thinking…one side using children, other side determined to make the world believe that nonsense…

…but swallow it whole please!

This message..from same folks who brought you fake baby beheading stories for the hate propaganda value…… children as shields obviously doesn’t work…600 hundred children burned and vaporized by oops, sorry about that!…more likely…slaughtered indiscriminately by missiles and artillery and any American supplied munition…and of course always, death from above.

It’s all a damn game for the terrorists and media enablers, on every side there ever was.

Revenge, with Fury…that’s what this slaughter is…retribution without morals covered by mass media carpet bombing.

Now the counter terrorists want 1.2 million men women, children….those left alive and not maimed for life mentally and physically… to trek through the rubble and get closer together … will make full extermination much easier?
